Honestly, i have a very mixed feelings about this hotel. I do travel a lot and stayed at different hotels, but this one was different. First of all i could not check in in a lobby, it wasn't late at all maybe 5 min before 9. Second of all had to talk through small window with no microphone, third of all had to pay $100 secure refundable deposit wich i wasn't aware of. Room was ok , but towel and sheet had pubic hair on it (very disgusting) Please don't relay on breakfast, it looked more like breakfast for homeless (shelter like) Before i checked out , front desk person had to go physically and check our room before releasing our deposit. Will i stay again here? NEVER!!! As i said it was very weird stay.

It's a budget motel (i.e. primarily for comfortable sleep and bathing) so this review is about cleanliness, safety, hospitality and since breakfast was offered...breakfast. -Cleanliness The check-in area was tidy. We reserved 2 rooms and both had a red dirty film on the floors (click flooring which can be tricky to mop) which I'm guessing is from trying to clean up after muddy boots since there were red clumps of dirt outside. The sheets and linens (after thorough inspection) were clean but thread barren. Black mold was starting above the shower in one room. Safety The surrounding area was run down but I didn't feel like I was imminent danger of being mugged. Hospitality Staff was average in this department. The morning desk person who was handling breakfast was definitely not energetic but no one was rude. Breakfast Even for a budget place this breakfast below average (3 out of 5 for me is cereal, oats, waffle maker, juice, coffee, tea). 2 types of cereal from tower dispensers and that was it. If I was to stay in this area again, it would not be here.
